Back Off, Let Me Come

"Teacher, junior brother?"

Yun Ce stared at Xian Yujian to confirm.

The words "Have you admitted the wrong person" are written all over his face.

Xian Yujian was no less surprised than Yun Ce. He forgot to drop the weapons in his hands: "Is it Senior Brother Yun?"

He quickly took back his martial spirit and walked from the mud to the field ridge with one foot deep and one foot shallow. His two trouser legs were rolled up to halfway up his thighs. Below the trouser legs, the wheat-colored skin and mud-covered calves were clearly distinguishable. Deyun Ce was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly asked: "Junior brother, what are you doing?"

Xian Yujian also wanted to ask: "Why is senior brother here?"

The two senior brothers looked at each other. In the end, Xian Yujian scooped water from the ditch, washed his legs, wiped them randomly, and said considerately: "Senior brother, what do you want to talk about while walking?"

Yun Ce naturally had no objection.

Before Xian Yujian left, he did not forget to raise his hands to a group of subordinates who were still working hard: "Work hard, there will be meat tonight!"

As soon as they heard that there would be meat in the evening, everyone worked more energetically.

"Hasn't Senior Brother Yun gone back?"

Xian Yujian's words brought Yun Ce back from his wandering world.

Yun Ce told his story with a wry smile, and at the end he spread his hands: "... Brother Wei has completely offended Huang Xiguang. It's not easy to go back to the mountain gate at this time, so he followed him here. Junior brother, how could you... do it in the fields? These jobs?"

Xian Yujian seemed to take this matter very seriously.

Answer: "Because this is the Lord's order."

"Come on, senior brother!" Before Yun Ce could say anything, Xian Yujian took Yun Ce's hand forward and said with a smile: "I'll take you to see something! Since senior brother has offended Huang Lie, why don't you think about it, my lord?" There’s no need for my senior brothers to separate!”

"What are you looking at?"

Yun Ce was also moved by Xian Yujian's invitation, but he couldn't just look at him for this kind of thing, he also had to look at Shen Jun.

Minister and Lord, the choice between the two is mutual.

Yun Ce soon knew what Xian Yujian wanted him to see. The two crossed a hillside, and he was shocked to the spot by the sight before him - it was a field with crisscrossed roads. The vast land is cut by straight paths, and rows of crops are planted in the fields.

For a long time, he said in surprise: "Yanzhou is not..."

Xian Yujian stood on the hillside and made a circle with his fingers: "This is the result of many days of hard work by my junior brothers. Fortunately, the terrain here is relatively flat. Otherwise, we would have to adjust the height of these fields to try to keep them on the same level..."

Ordinary people do not have the ability to do whatever they want. They cultivate wasteland according to the terrain, which makes their fields irregular and difficult to measure. My lord has so-called obsessive-compulsive disorder. He asked them to show their putty skills and smooth the ground under their feet when reclaiming wasteland, so that each field is the same size.

A field is an acre of land.

Each field is marked with a corresponding serial number.

In the future, when the common people lease land from the government, they will be able to divide it piece by piece. It will be clear at a glance which household has been assigned which acre of land. This will also facilitate the payment of autumn harvest field taxes. This is just a matter of convenience for the brave warriors who participated in the land reclamation.

This is what Yun Ce sees now.

There were already crops in the fields, but he didn't recognize them.

"I heard that the floods in Yanzhou were serious and all the crops were ruined. Are they replanted? Is there still time for the autumn harvest?"

Xian Yujian said: "It's too late to come."

After that, he smiled and said: "I should be able to try something new tonight."

Yun Ce was dumbfounded: "Try something new?"

Xian Yujian smacked his lips, seeming to reminisce about the taste of the ribs stewed in jade and wheat soup last night: "Hucao's side produces a lot of jade and wheat every day. If you don't want to waste it, just throw it away in the back kitchen... Lin Hucao said that this kind of jade and wheat grains Barren, I don’t think…”

It obviously tastes so soft and glutinous, and the seeds are plump. When rolled together with the ribs and stewed in soup, he can show off several large bowls by himself.

It's fresh and fragrant, isn't it good?

"Senior brother, you must try it. Once you taste it, you will never forget it!"

Yun Ce: "..."

He didn't quite understand some of the things his junior brother said.

But one thing he knew was that his junior brother was enjoying everything at the moment.

Xian Yujian took Yun Ce with him, and people greeted him from time to time. Yun Ce pointed to a place: "What are they doing?"

Following the direction pointed by Yun Ce, Xian Yujian only glanced at it and said, "Oh, they are building a house, as you know, senior brother, because of the successive wars, the people were displaced, and a large number of houses were old and collapsed, making it dangerous to live in them. The Lord planned to build a simple village near the fields. The common people would rent the nearby fields so that they would not have to travel far to work in the fields."

The real purpose is to control population registration.

"More than a dozen such villages have been built in recent times, and each village can accommodate at least a hundred households."

Yun Ce was happy and worried at the same time.

Fortunately, he also likes the scenes of traffic and chickens and dogs; unfortunately, the terrain is so flat that once the enemy invades, this place will be defenseless. Neatly planned fields also make it easier for enemies to plunder food.

He couldn't help but voice his worries.

Xian Yujian said: "My lord has never thought about this."

Yun Ce asked in surprise: "Have you never thought about it?"

Xian Yujian scratched his head: "I don't think the lord has considered these gains and losses. As long as the fields are still here and the newly built villages can still be inhabited, no matter who controls this place, the survival of the people has been improved. That's enough." .”

Yun Ce: "..."

Somehow, he thought of the old general under Huang Lie's tent, and felt a trace of empathy with him.

He asked Xian Yujian: "Why did Zheng Qiao strengthen his walls and clear the country?"

Destroying everything is naturally to cut off the enemy's supply!

Even if the enemy captures the territory, there will be no recovery!

When the overall situation was uncertain, Shen Jun spent so much effort to keep this place in order. When Huang Lie and others found out, they were so laughing that they woke up from their dreams and knelt down to Shen Tang——

Thank you for the gift of nature!

What is a living Bodhisattva?

This is called a living Bodhisattva!

Xian Yujian understood the worry behind Yun Ce's words, and he said: "My lord will not lose! He will not lose to Huang Lie!"

Yun Ce didn't know where his junior brother's confidence came from.

Ding bell—ding bell—ding bell—

Hearing the bell ringing from far to near, Xian Yujian put his hands on his lips in the shape of a trumpet, his breath dropped from his Dantian, and he used his skills to make his voice spread far away: "It's time, the next bell!"

I am not active after get off work and have brain problems.

Everyone working in the fields stopped what they were doing.

Each one of them seemed to have their butts on fire, with ghosts chasing behind them. They rushed towards the canteen at the back as fast as they could. Some of them were even so fast that they left afterimages. The slower ones are more like Buddhists. If you can't catch up with the first wave, you won't force yourself to run over. As the saying goes, "It's better to arrive early than to arrive late." As long as you are lucky, you can still catch up with the logistics and supply food.

"It's worth it!"

"Let's go, let's go -"

"Isn't it too early to get off duty today?"

I didn't feel the passage of time, it was over in a blink of an eye.

Xian Yujian and Yun Ce are obviously the first echelon.

To be precise, Xian Yujian rushed to do the cooking, while Yun Ce was passively dragged to do the cooking. The two went at full speed and soon surpassed the first group of contestants. When they arrived, the canteen set up temporarily by the logistics department was still empty, except for a few kittens.

"Is there any jade wheat today?"

Xian Yujian came to a sudden stop.

The soldier in charge of fetching food said: "There are some."

Thanks to Hu Cao, the logistics department has to harvest dozens of acres of corn wheat every day. The kernels of each ear of corn wheat are getting fuller and fuller day by day. The chefs are also racking their brains to develop various ways to make corn wheat. But by far the most popular is the jade and wheat soup.

Mix and cook with various ingredients!

Sprinkle some salt after cooking the soup, it tastes delicious.

Yun Ce also took a portion. Warriors and ordinary soldiers have different appetites, so his portion was particularly large. It was heavy in his hand, and it wasn't until he sat down that Yun Ce came back to his senses. At this time, Xian Yujian had already taken a sip of the hot soup.

The other party looked at him with bright eyes.

Warm invitation: "Brother, have a taste."

Yun Ce looked at the wooden spoon in the bowl and was stunned again.

He had been fighting with Huang Lie for a long time. Before that, he had been a ranger for a period of time, doing chivalry wherever he went. To put it nicely, it means that the sword is at the end of the world, but to put it badly, it means that there is no fixed place to live, and there are no conditions for food.

When I was a ranger, I ate whatever I bought and hunted. Sometimes I wouldn't have a meal for two days in a row.

It was better when he was fighting under Huang Lie's tent. The food was mostly dry biscuits and steamed rice made from corn. These foods have a longer shelf life and can be stored for a long time even in midsummer and are easy to carry. No matter how good the conditions are, you can eat hot food, but most of the time you eat cold water with wheat rice. These foods have a dry and hard texture and a bland taste. A little vinegar can be used to enhance the flavor.

Yun Ce was used to all this.

I followed Huang Lie's order and stayed under Shen Tang's tent for a period of time. The food conditions were much better than Huang Lie's, but they mainly consisted of dry food, and most of the time they cooked in cold water. Hot food was also served, but only a few times, and Yun Ce didn't pay much attention to it.

Now--

Yun Ce felt it was a bit absurd.

Xian Yujian had already finished half a bowl of soup and went down to get a bucket of wheat rice. When he looked up and saw that his senior brother had not yet moved his chopsticks, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Senior brother, these foods are not to your liking?"

When the chef cooks a dish for hundreds of people in one pot, it is difficult to control the taste. It is either too salty or too bland. If the senior brother doesn't like it, he can only pay the chef to open a small stove. But that will have to wait until the kitchen is free.

Or do you think there are only two small pieces of meat in a bowl of soup?

Yun Ce shook his head: "Do you eat like this every day?"

Xian Yujian said: "Not every day. My lord is still very poor, and it is impossible to provide such food every day. There are only three or five days in ten and a half months... But if Hu Cao and his gang are more diligent, they can have more days... …”

The whole army dared not offend anyone who came out of Hucao.

Others hope that their sons will become dragons and their daughters will become phoenixes, but they are different. Many Paoze pray to God and pray to Lin Feng and others every day to hope that they will become successful, because it is related to the quality of the food they eat every day.

Lin Hu Cao Chengcai can fill their bellies.

Yun Ce: "..."

This is also very scary!

He stared at the hot food with a tempting aroma on the food table, his mouth salivated, his Adam's apple rolled, and he simply let go and immersed himself in the meal. Soon, people arrived one after another, and a long line formed in the temporary canteen. At the end of the line were two acquaintances.

"Gong Xiqiu, your thick eyebrows and big eyes have changed!"

I could vaguely hear the gray Shen Tang complaining.

Gong Xiqiu raised his eyebrows: "Where have I changed?"

Shen Tang accused: "You cheated and you won all the pearls in my hand! Do you dare to say that you didn't distract me on purpose?"

She had never lost so completely in marbles. After several rounds of competition, all ten of her beads were eaten by Gong Xiqiu! You know, a few years ago, they could still fight back and forth!

It's all thanks to Gong Xiqiu, who distracts her with some big news every time she takes action. This guy is a bad example!

Gong Xiqiu: "No, it's not intentional!"

He crossed his arms across his chest and felt confident.

"It's obvious that Mama has neglected to hone her skills over the years and is not as good as me. How could it be that I cheated and defeated you?"

Shen Tang: "..."

Gongxi Qiu took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Besides, Mama is as strong as me. Ask yourself, even if I hear the news that the sky is falling, I will not be easily distracted, let alone lose my accuracy and lose the game. .”

"…Okay, you have a point."

Shen Tang, who has always wanted to be strong in her life, was forced to admit that Gong Xiqiu's words made sense - admitting that she had neglected to hone her skills because she was busy with government affairs was better than admitting that her concentration was not as good as Gong Xiqiu and that she was not a strong person - she would lose. It's because of my hands.

"Mama can get back her touch by playing a few more games with me."

How can practice make perfect without playing?

Shen Tang held the plate and silently looked at Gong Xiqiu's head.

Gong Xiqiu tilted his head towards her: "What's wrong?"

"Will Tianlei, who was promoted to the sixteenth level, help you get a new brain?" Didn't this guy get a new brain?

"As far as I know, no." Although Tianlei Body Tempering has the same effect as washing marrow and cutting bones, it does not include brain replacement.

"It's your fault for wasting time by chirping on the road."

The seats in the canteen have to be competed for.

She arrived too late. Even though she was the master, she had to sit on the floor.

Fortunately, he could still share the table with others. Yun Ce's face came with a light lens, so he could be caught at a glance even if he was thrown into the crowd. Yun Ce naturally noticed her and wanted to get close to her, but when he thought of Shen Tang's gender, his expression froze for a moment.

Shen Tang leaned over with a smile.

"Yuanmou, we meet again."

Come on, move around and set up a table.

Yun Ce, this newbie, was much more knowledgeable than the other veterans. He gave in without saying anything and even cupped his fists in a salute.

"Yun Ce has met Mr. Shen."

Shen Tang first chatted with Yun Ce about domestic matters for a while, then changed the topic: "I heard about your experience from Feng En. If you have no place to go for the time being, why not stay and make plans? You are here, and that old man Huang Xiguang is also Don’t dare to make any move.”

Yun Ce also wanted to get close to him, so naturally he would not refuse.

only--

He looked around, a little embarrassed on his pretty face.

According to the normal process, he should be holding the Wu Daring Tiger Talisman in both hands with excitement at this moment, clasping his fists to show allegiance, saying "Meng Shen Jun will not give up, Yun is willing to do everything for you", and then the lord will help him up. , affectionate to each other.

Now--

Shen Tang ate until the corners of his mouth were stained with grains of wheat.

"Yuanmou doesn't want to eat? Today's dishes are quite good."

Quickly finish a bucket and replenish it. If you eat slowly, it will be gone.

Yun Ce: "..."

This is not right!

At the same time, Huang Xiguang was also furious.

He swept away the things on the table, his eyes were red, and he said bitterly: "You said Yun Yuanmou wounded the guard and defected?"

Zhang He's lunch box is starting to get hot, hehe.
